As we approach Thanksgiving, it seems like a good time to consider how thankful we are. Our youth this past weekend volunteered to fast for thirty hours to gain awareness of hunger. They also raised funds for children in the horn of Africa. These children can go without food for thirty hours or longer only to receive food that is not always nourishing. As we completed our famine we were graciously served a wonderful meal. It was the best meal ever, we all agreed. We genuinely felt thankful. Thankful for something we often take for granted. So this Thanksgiving let us remember to give thanks to God the giver of all that is good and to share that thankfulness with others.
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17
